Tabletop Scotland's Director, Dave Wright said: 'Last year we welcomed 6,500 people to the Royal Highland Centre, realising the potential of the event from an exhibitor and attendee perspective. We are delighted to be returning again this year, with some new exhibitors and events for our attendees to enjoy. With the UK tabletop industry continuing to grow year on year, we're delighted to have over 130 companies showcasing their tabletop games and accessories to our attendees. 'We created Tabletop Scotland to be a focal point for the hobby in Scotland, aiming to be at the heart of gaming in Scotland by bring together those new to the hobby with those who are already involved. Each year we have attendees who have only recently discovered this hobby coming to our event and having a fantastic time, as well as those long standing hobbyists who celebrate their hobby for three days. For those new to the hobby, we have dedicated areas where they can begin their exploration of what's on offer.' Tickets are on sale now: 1 .
